Krahnenberg-Kaserne, Military barracks in Andernach, Germany
The Krahnenberg-Kaserne spans multiple buildings constructed in a Nazi architectural style, featuring characteristic elements from the 1937 military design principles.
The facility operated as an Air Force hospital until 1945, then transformed into a prisoner camp under American forces before French authorities converted it into a medical center.
On January 2, 1956, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer welcomed the first 550 Bundeswehr volunteers at this location, marking a new chapter in German military history.
The barracks maintain their military function as a Bundeswehr service station, located 13.7 kilometers from additional military facilities in Koblenz.
A wooden barrack from the founding period remains on site and will become a museum displaying artifacts about the German armed forces formation.
